The sky yelled, cried and threw down its bolts of light. Rain pounded against the window I sat next to. Then she showed up. Dressed all in white running around out in the vicious storm looking for someone... looking at me.

She ran up to me, her hand pressed to the window as she stood out in the rain. "Help" she mouthed and jumped as a bang of thunder rolled into the neighborhood.

I pointed to the front of the house and nodded before running to open the door, seeing her there ready to come inside.

"You need to quit running through the house." My beloved older brother yelled.

"Don't mind him" I murmured to the pretty girl. She looked about my age, but dressed as if she had lived years and years ago.

She wore a full white gown, maybe a few steps down from a wedding dress. She wore no shoes, and her porcelain skin matched well with white curly hair.

I took in her appearance again as I lead her to my room. The thing I noticed... she's bone dry.

"How'd you dry so quickly?" I questioned.

"Who are you talking to." My brother asked, looking around. I rolled my eyes and looked back to the girl.

"Don't mind him, he has a very selective mind. She smiled warmly and noddes as we made it into my room.

"O.K. Bye..." he yelled out as I shut my door.

"So... I don't think I've seen you before. What's you're name?"

"Oh, you haven't seen me before, I'm kind of new here, and my name is Lynn." She spoke her voice soft and flowing.

"Thats really pretty... my-"

"You're middle name is Lynn and your first name is Winter."

"H-how do you know?"

"My sister... she dated your brother... believe me she always talked about you." Her words seemed to flow a bit more agressivly.

"Are you okay?" I asked cautiously.

"Yeah, it's just... I still can't believe you're like that."

"Like what?"

"Oh, honey."

Over the past couple of weeks Lynn told me a few things and taught me some things too.

"Well first off, you dress like you're mother set out those clothes."

"Secondly, look at yourself. You always hold yourself high... why? You're no better than anybody else. I could use your stomach as a trampoline. Then your thighs... they're so big, you could hide Texas there."

That one hit a little harder than expected.

"How do I fix it?" I asked.

"Oh, sweetie, I thought you'd never ask..."

I ended up buying almost two sizes smaller than before every month, then I was ready for whatever else Lynn wanted to tell me.

"You're weak. I don't even need to go into detail about this one, you're tears are already brimming at your eyes."

"How do I fix it?" I sniffled determinedly.

"Try this."

She handed me a razor and just watched me.
